A friend is earning $190K TC in FP&A at 8 YOE and after a few years of trying to break into VC was just offered an Associate role at a T2/3 fund on Sandhill for $145K TC - no negotiation.

Should he accept it considering it’s a first step?

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation).

Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.
